Welcome back Imola to the simracing world! Kunos Simulazioni
celebrates the rebirth of one of the most favourite tracks for
simracing enthusiasts, acquiring the official license to reproduce
this legendary circuit as it has never been done before, by using
Laserscan technology.

The most famous fan of this track, Enzo Ferrari, was usual to
define Imola as the "little Nurburgring", referring to its highly
demanding layout for cars and drivers. Still today, thanks to its
climbs and famous corners, remains one of the most exciting tracks
for racing.

Reproducing such a characteristic racing circuit in a 3D scenary
is a real challenge. The Laserscan recognition, completed in 2011,
has allowed the development team to model each bend and climb with
an incredible precision, in order to guarantee an emotional
driving, as close as possible to the real life circuit. It's a
privilege for Kunos Simulazioni to offer to Assetto Corsa's fans
this amazing circuit, surrounded by the Emilian countryside, a
piece of Italy that the development team is proud to represent.

Assetto Corsa is a new DirectX 11 based racing game for Windows,
expected to be released in 2012.

Assetto Corsa is being designed to provide a very realistic
driving experience, with single player and multiplayer options,
officially licensed cars and tracks developed using Laser scan
technology, and the highest level of accuracy possible in
reproducing real world motor racing environments. Also, Assetto
Corsa will allow for considerable customisation and modification,
in order to satisfy the expectations of professional simracers,
gamers who prefer to approach the driving experience more
progressively, and hobbyists who just like to collect lots of cars
and tracks.
